Green Music Industry Packaging Sources

Dogwood Alliance believes that corporate customers can directly influence the large paper producers whose forestry practices negatively impact Southern forests. To that end it is critical that customers in the music community express their desire for better, more responsible and more sustainable packaging in their purchasing decisions.

Please reduce your overall packaging and use 100% post-consumer recycled fiber board whenever possible. If virgin fiber is necessary, insist that the fiber in your packaging does not come from Endangered Forests and does not come from suppliers that are engaged in converting natural forests to industrial tree plantations. Also look for Forest Stewardship Council certified paper products, the only certification system supported by the international environmental community.

The following is a brief listing of companies that can provide more responsible packaging for the music sector.
